Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

Chapter 436: Chapter 135: Alchemy Competition

After leaving the System Space, Lin Jing directly appeared inside the alchemy room.

Then, Lin Jing closed the formation and stepped out of the alchemy room…

After leaving the alchemy room, Lin Jing immediately released his Divine Sense, surveying the area, but failed to find any trace of Little Sparrow.

It seemed that Little Sparrow must have flown out to hunt on its own.

Under normal circumstances, Little Sparrow would only move around in this northern area, and sometimes, when it had been around for a while, it would fly out to hunt Demonic Beasts in the sea.

However, it usually wouldn’t be gone for long, even when hunting, and remained within the nearby sea area.

Moreover, Little Sparrow was now more formidable than before.

If measured by a Cultivator’s level of Cultivation, Little Sparrow would currently be at the mid-Golden Core stage.

Although it was only at the mid-Golden Core stage, Little Sparrow was very fast, and not even a Cultivator at the peak of the Golden Core could easily catch it.

Therefore,

Lin Jing did not pay much attention to it, allowing it to hunt on its own.

With Little Sparrow absent, Lin Jing noticed using his Divine Sense that Li Qingqing, Lin Jue, and Ye Yun were not around either.

Aside from cultivating in the northern part of Li Yan Island, the three of them would sometimes go to Li Yan City or Fang Market to help…

A portion of the Elixir Medicines in Fang Market’s Elixir Pavilion was refined by Li Qingqing and Lin Jue.

Of course, Lin Jing would occasionally contribute some as well.

Lin Jing estimated that they must be in Fang Market right now.

Afterward,

Lin Jing left the courtyard and flew towards Fang Market.

Upon reaching the entrance to Fang Market, Huang Linxian did not come out to greet him, likely because some issue had arisen inside and he was handling it.

Conflicts were common within Fang Market.

But with the Guard Team around, these conflicts typically did not escalate too severely.

Still, some Golden Core Cultivators from other islands would make trouble here, usually dealt with by Huang Linxian.

In this regard, Huang Linxian did a good job; as long as it wasn’t someone intentionally causing trouble, he could solve the issue flawlessly.

If they encountered someone deliberately looking for quarrels, they would notify Yue Qi’s mother, and if Yue Qi’s mother couldn’t handle it, only then would they notify Lin Jing.

Since the development of Li Yan Fang Market, there would naturally be some who were jealous and wanted to profit from it.

Over the years, deliberate provocations had occasionally occurred, and the majority were resolved by Huang Linxian.

Only a minimal part required Lin Jing’s intervention.

However…

Ever since three years ago, when a Golden Core Late Stage Cultivator, relying on his high Cultivation, arbitrarily broke Fang Market’s rules and killed a Cultivator from Li Yan Island, he was forcefully killed by Lin Jing in public view.

No one dared to cause trouble in Li Yan Fang Market anymore.

Therefore, Lin Jing was not particularly concerned about Huang Linxian’s absence, as now, anyone thinking of causing trouble would have to consider their own strength.

……

After entering Fang Market, Lin Jing headed straight for Li Yan Elixir Pavilion.

The market was still exceedingly crowded at the time.

However, the expansion of Fang Market had already begun planning.

Moreover, the land for the market’s expansion had already been allocated, and it was expected that it would not be long before the extension was completed.

Walking along the streets of Fang Market, Lin Jing heard people shouting before he even reached Li Yan Elixir Pavilion:

“There’s an alchemy contest happening at Li Yan Elixir Pavilion, hurry and see…”

…

“An alchemy contest, we have to take a good look…”

…

“Let’s go, let’s go see as well…”

……

“An alchemy contest…” Lin Jing slightly furrowed his brows, then immediately extended his Divine Sense.

Indeed, in an open space in front of Li Yan Elixir Pavilion, two Alchemists were standing on either side, refining pills.

One of the Alchemists was Lin Jue.

Li Qingqing and Ye Yun were also there.

Besides them, Huang Linxian, along with several members of the Guard Team, was maintaining order at the scene.

Lin Jing then proceeded directly to Li Yan Elixir Pavilion.

Upon nearing Li Yan Elixir Pavilion, Lin Jing discovered that its entrance was already packed and impenetrable.

Even Li Yan Elixir Pavilion itself was inaccessible.

However, with everyone watching the alchemy contest, it was unlikely that many would be purchasing Elixir Medicines at this time.

Shortly after Lin Jing arrived, Huang Linxian was the first to notice him.

Huang Linxian immediately walked towards Lin Jing.

“Island Master…” Huang Linxian came in front of Lin Jing and bowed his hands in greeting.

Lin Jing spoke up, asking Huang Linxian:

“What’s going on?”

“Why is Lin Jue here competing in an alchemy contest with someone?”

“Someone deliberately caused trouble in the Elixir Pavilion and publicly maligned our pavilion in front of everyone. Young Master Lin couldn’t stand it and started the alchemy contest with this person.”

Only in front of Lin Jing and the others did Lin Jue reveal her true appearance; whenever she was in public, she maintained the guise of a man.

Therefore, even Huang Linxian was unaware of Lin Jue’s female identity, and hence addressed her as ‘young master.’

Besides Lin Jing, Li Qingqing, and Ye Yun, only Yue Qi’s mother on this island knew the true identity of Lin Jue.

Just then, Li Qingqing and Ye Yun saw Lin Jing and quickly ran over.

“Brother Lin Jing…”

“Master…”

Lin Jing nodded at the two of them.

At this moment, Ye Yun also spoke up to explain,

“Master, those two spouted nonsense, saying that all of our elixir medicines are trash. They even brought an alchemy master specially to challenge the alchemists of our Li Yan Elixir Pavilion.”

“They also said that if we lost, we would have to take down the signboard of our Li Yan Elixir Pavilion and let our reputation be dragged through the mud.”

At this time, Li Qingqing also began to explain,

“Those two men are likely from the nearby Shallow Rock Island, where they have also set up a market. However, not many people visit it, so they deliberately came to trouble us, all to increase the popularity of their island’s market.”

After hearing this, Lin Jing nodded and said,

“Right…”

“Let’s go and take a look…”

Ever since the success of Li Yan Fang Market, some other island masters also got the idea and wanted to set up their own markets.

However, setting up a market is not so easy.

It also depends on whether the conditions of their own islands are suitable.

Some island masters gave up at the very beginning.

Some managed to start one, but could not attract people, and over time, they stopped caring.

This situation with Shallow Rock Island, wanting to step on the Li Yan Elixir Pavilion to increase their reputation, was a first.

But Lin Jing didn’t take them seriously.

Lin Jue was practicing the Ancient Alchemy Arts handed down in the Lin Family for generations. How could they compare?

Even if the opponent had invited an alchemy master, as long as the elixir manufactured did not exceed Lin Jue’s alchemy cultivation, Lin Jing was not worried that Lin Jue would lose.

Afterward, Lin Jing and his party passed through the crowded crowd and arrived at the innermost area.

Huang Linxian’s earlier actions had been seen by many people.

They recognized that this man was none other than the Island Master of Li Yan Island.

So, as the group walked in, the crowd automatically parted, clearing a path for Lin Jing and his companions.

After all, the main characters had arrived, and it was going to be even more exciting now.

Some people who had witnessed Lin Jing’s actions that day were even more astounded by the Island Master of Li Yan Island.

After they entered, Lin Jing did not stop them; he just quietly watched the two competing.

At this moment, both alchemists had reached the critical final stages of their pill concoction.

Lin Jue and the opposing white-robed elder were staring intently at their pill furnaces, carefully controlling the flames at the bottom of the furnace, performing the final coalescence.

At this time, even the spectators surrounding them held their breath, silent, watching the two perform their alchemy.

This was the moment when both alchemists least needed disturbance.

After a while, the two reached the final moment of pill formation, and the rich aroma of the elixirs began to waft out from inside the pill furnaces…

As the scent of the elixirs grew stronger, some restlessness arose among the surrounding spectators.

At that moment, both alchemists ceased their fires simultaneously, and after a brief pause, both pill furnaces were opened at the same time.

The rich aroma of the elixirs, with the opening of the pill furnaces, instantly dispersed, and the surrounding onlookers immediately took a deep breath.

It was then that someone in the crowd exclaimed,

“Holy shit…”

“Pure Elixir, this aroma, it’s definitely a Pure Elixir…”

Following this person’s exclamation, more and more people came to their senses and began to look towards the center.

They wanted to see which one of them had managed to produce a Pure Elixir.

With the production of the elixir medicine completed, they proceeded to collect the pills.

Under their control, the elixirs in each furnace rose into the air, hovering in midair.

Only then did the spectators clearly see.

The one who had concocted the Pure Elixir was none other than Lin Jue; besides this Pure Elixir, he had also produced an additional Supreme Elixir.

The rest were Superior and Medium Grade, as for the Low Grade, not a single one appeared.

But the old man was not simple either; he too had produced two Supreme Elixirs…

Although there were two Supreme Elixirs, they were incomparably inferior to Lin Jue’s Pure Elixir.

Afterward, Lin Jue directly took out a Pure Jade Box and placed the Pure Elixir into it.

Seeing this scene, the onlookers were exceedingly excited,

“Damn…”

“A Pure Elixir, this is the first time I’ve seen a Pure Elixir being produced with my own eyes…”

“Isn’t that so?” another person said.

“Too bad this Pure Gathering Yuan Pill is too precious; otherwise, I’d want to buy it straight away.”

Hearing this, another person snickered and said,

“If it were really like you said, do you think it would be your turn?”

…

…

After collecting all the elixir medicines, Lin Jue then said to the white-robed old man facing him,

“How about it? Do we need to compete further?”

The white-robed old man then gave Lin Jue a fist salute and conceded generously,

“Indeed, a hero emerges from youth, this alchemy contest, this old man has lost…”

There was no need to elaborate on the Supreme Elixir versus the Pure Elixir, the Pure Elixir clearly triumphed.

After the white-robed old man finished speaking, he turned to the two island masters behind him and said,

“Gentlemen, the favor I owed you has now been repaid, farewell…”

With that, the white-robed old man was about to turn away and leave.

However, at this moment, Lin Jue spoke up and stopped him.

“Elder, if you don’t mind, you are welcome to come to our Li Yan Elixir Pavilion. We will certainly treat you as an honored guest at our Li Yan Elixir Pavilion.”
